“
What is it like to be a child, facing the future?
What happens when you cannot find any adult who reminds you of yourself doing something you want to do?
How do you find your way from what you are to what you want to be? How many children blaze trails along well-trod paths, oblivious to the work done by those who came before? How many cannot even begin to imagine the trails?
What happens when you cannot find any adult who reminds you of yourself at all? I have heard variation upon variation on this story: a disabled child comes to believe that he will grow up to be non-disabled, or never grow up at all. After all, as he looks around, there are no adults like himself. How many children never even realize they must imagine the trails?
What happens when no-one around you can imagine a future for you that they think minimally acceptable? What happens when no-one believes that the trails can even be imagined at all?
” — Cal Montgomery, “What Do You Want To Be?”
